One kind of control rods for nuclear reactors, in the central structural material sticking to the beam cross-section is U-shaped skin constitute flank. 在侧翼的插入顶端侧和插入下端侧分别粘着顶端结构材料和下端结构材料的一方,在U字形蒙皮内沿蒙皮的纵向成列地容纳多个板状的整体型中子吸附元件,各自以...
could destroy the reactor. The overpressure caused a partial loosening of the 1000-ton cover plate of the reactor, which caused the breakage of the fuel channels and the blockage of all control rods, which were halfway down. The intense development of steam was then extended to the entire co...
Control rods are made of neutron poisons and therefore absorb neutrons. When a control rod is inserted deeper into the reactor, it absorbs more neutrons than the material it displaces – often the moderator. This action results in fewer neutrons available to cause fission and reduces the reactor...
Control rods are provided, each comprising a plurality of elongated absorber units distributed symmetrically around the central axes of the control rod. Each absorber unit may be cruciform, or may consist of several rods of absorbtion material mechanically connected with each other at their lower ...
” Structural materials are, for instance, those that go to make the pressure vessel, the pressure tubes through which the coolant is circulated, the impervious cladding hosting the nuclear fuel, the materials used in the devices for driving and steering the fuel elements and control rods, ...
Control bundle used in water-cooled nuclear reactorsThe control bundle has a junction having rods hanging from it. The rods contain a neutron absorbing material formed in the lower part of an Ag-In-Cd alloy absorber column, and in the upper part of a B4C column. The material is formed ...

In reactors operating at high temperatures, refractory materials can be used for fuels, moderators or reflectors, thermal insulation, control rods and neutron screens, and neutron detectors. Except in the case of control rods and neutron screens and detectors, the refractory materials intended for n...
